Resumen
La autora ofrece una síntesis actualizada de sus trabajos precedentes sobre «reginalidad» / «queenship» y dialoga con la bibliografía historiográfica reciente en torno al poder femenino en las cortes hispánicas: «Even those queens who inherit the crown and ruled in their own right were subject to limitations, and were expected to marry and even encouraged to take up a subsidiary wifely role. But many queens and queen consorts were well equipped to meet the demands of this masculine world, having been raised in royal or noble courts, and trained since childhood to navigate this environment and to master the mechanisms of gift and favor exchange» (p. 321)
